Available in three sizes – 1.6x2.5m, 2.1x3.1m, and 3.2x3m – CMYUK said the Chinese manufacturer’s tables offer accuracy, reliability, “and an array of superior features at an investment level that has previously never been attainable”.
The largest sized table, the 3.2m-wide model, supports super-wide digital printed textile cutting production in both the mid-range and premium industrial printer markets.
This model is also fitted with a carbon fibre reinforced gantry that ensures stable precision during super-wide intense production cycles.
Other features of the JWEI JCUT system include an automatic feeding conveyor, 1800kW liquid cooled router for powerful milling, a raft of different tools, and a modularised cutting head that accommodates up to three sets of tool combinations simultaneously.
Its bed is comprised of separate vacuum zones that secure materials and guarantee complete lay flat consistency for all substrates during production.
The kit runs at up to 1,200mm/sec, the equivalent of 75m/min, with a maximum acceleration point of 1G.
The JCUT systems are controlled by the OptiScout Vision controller software for accurate and fast automated cutting. This is supported by “all industry leading RIPs”, according to CMYUK.
The company added that individually configurable import filters ensure optimum preparation of the cut contours during importation.
“For example, open contours can be closed or optimised, or duplicates removed. Individual macros can be executed automatically before and after the import, to optimally feed data into the subsequent cutting process,” it stated.
“The use of a CCD camera increases the precision of the output that compensates printing inaccuracies and thereby reduces waste. Flexible registration reliably processes even the most problematic of materials that are prone to distortion.”
Prices for the JWEI JCUT range start from £64,995 for the J-CUT PRO-1625 and £89,995 for the 3.2m J-CUT PRO-3230.
All cutting tables come as standard including compressor, delivery, installation, operator and application training, 18 months on-site warranty, Auto Tool Changer (holding up to eight router bits), a range of tools including 1.8kw liquid cooled router, Universal Cutting Tool (UCT), Creasing Tool (CWT), Electric Oscillating Tool (EOT), V-Cut Tool (VCT), and Kiss Cut Tool (KCT). The package also includes the OptiScout Vision controller software workstation.
